RESUMEN
Plant extracts are commonly used as feed additives to improve pork quality. However, due to their high cost, shortening the duration of supplement use can help reduce production costs. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on meat quality and muscle fiber characteristics of finishing pigs during the late stage of fattening, which was 30 days in our experimental design. The results indicated that short-term dietary supplementation of GSPE significantly reduced backfat thickness, but increased loin eye area and improved meat color and tenderness. Moreover, GSPE increased slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity, while decreasing fast MyHC expression and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the Longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle. Additionally, GSPE increased the expression of Sirt1 and PGC-1α proteins in the LT muscle of finishing pigs and upregulated AMP-activated protein kinase α 1 (AMPKα1), AMPKα2, nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase ß (CaMKKß) mRNA expression levels. These findings suggest that even during the late stage of fattening, GSPE treatment can regulate skeletal muscle fiber type transformation through the AMPK signaling pathway, thereby affecting the muscle quality of finishing pigs. Therefore, by incorporating GSPE into the diet of pigs during the late stage of fattening, producers can enhance pork quality while reducing production costs.

An intelligent and active food packaging film based on chitosan (CS), pectin (P), calcium propionate (CP), and curcumin-ß-cyclodextrin complex (Cur-ß-CD) was prepared. The CS/P/CP/Cur-ß-CD film exhibited improved hydrophobicity (74.78 ± 0.53°), water vapor (4.55 ± 0.16 × 10-11 g·(m·s·Pa)-1), and oxygen (1.50 ± 0.06 × 10-12 g·(m·s·Pa)-1) barrier properties, as well as antioxidant (72.34 ± 3.79 % for DPPH and 86.05 ± 0.14 % for ABTS) and antibacterial (79.41 ± 2.89 % for E. coli and 83.82 ± 3.96 % for S. aureus) activities. The release of CP and Cur could be triggered by pectinase, with their cumulative release reaching 92.62 ± 1.20 % and 42.24 ± 1.15 %, respectively. The CS/P/CP/Cur-ß-CD film showed delayed alterations in surface color, pH value, total volatile bases nitrogen, total viable counts, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, hardness, and springiness of pork. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of the film gradually decreased. In conclusion, we have developed a pH-responsive film with pectinase-triggered release function, providing a new concept for the design of multi-signal responsive intelligent food packaging.

The aim of this study was to assess the antioxidant and inhibiting (ACE-I, DPP IV, and alpha-glucosidase) potential of canned meat featuring reduced sodium nitrate content (50 mg/kg) and fortified with freeze-dried currant leaf extract. Research indicates that employing a lyophilizate dose of 150 mg/kg yields optimal benefits in terms of the antioxidant activity of the meat product. Additionally, three highly promising sequences for canned meat were identified via analysis in the BIOPEP database. These sequences are RPPPPPPPPAD, exhibiting DPP-IV inhibiting activity; ARPPPGPPPLGPPPPGP, demonstrating ACE-I inhibiting activity; and PPGPPPPP, displaying alpha-glucosidase inhibiting activity. Using bioinformatics tools, molecular docking was performed by pairing the selected peptides with protein receptors 2QT9, 1O86, and 5NN8, respectively (PDB ID). The examination of the potential of these selected sequences to manifest specific biological activities toward enzymes was based on the free energy value (∆Gbinding). This knowledge can be harnessed for designing functional foods, thereby contributing to the safeguarding of consumer health.

Meat quality seems to be influenced by the dietary regimes applied for animal feeding. Several research studies are aimed at improving meat quality, preserving it from oxidative processes, by the incorporation of antioxidant components in animal feeding. The main part of these studies evaluates meat quality, determining different parameters directly on meat, while few research studies take into account what may happen after meat ingestion. To address this topic, in this study, an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion protocol was applied to two different pork muscles, longissimus dorsi and rectus femoris, obtained from pigs fed with different diets. In detail, two groups of 12 animals each were subjected to either a conventional diet or a supplemented diet with extruded linseeds as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and plant extracts as a source of phenolics antioxidant compounds. The digested meat was subjected to an untargeted metabolomics approach. Several metabolites deriving from lipid and protein digestion were detected. Our untargeted approach allowed for discriminating the two different meat cuts, based on their metabolomic profiles. Nonetheless, multivariate statistics allowed clearly discriminating between samples obtained from different animal diets. In particular, the inclusion of linseeds and polyphenols in the animal diet led to a decrease in metabolites generated from oxidative degradation reactions, in comparison to the conventional diet group. In the latter, fatty acyls, fatty aldehydes and oxylipins, as well as cholesterol and vitamin D3 precursors and derivatives, could be highlighted.

Protein-bound Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product within meat products, poses a potential health risk to humans. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of various edible oils on the formation of protein-bound CML in roasted pork patties. Eleven commercially edible oils including lard oil, corn oil, palm oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, blended oil, camellia oil, walnut oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, and colza oil were added to pork tenderloin mince, respectively, at a proportion of 4 % to prepare raw pork patties. The protein-bound CML contents in the pork patties were determined by HPLC-MS/MS before and after roasting at 200 °C for 20 min. The results indicated that walnut oil, flaxseed oil, colza oil, olive oil, lard oil, corn oil, blended oil, and palm oil significantly reduced the accumulation of protein-bound CML in pork patties, of which the inhibition rate was in the 24.43 %-37.96 % range. Moreover, the addition of edible oil contributed to a marginal reduction in the loss of lysine. Meanwhile, glyoxal contents in pork patties were reduced by 16.72 %-43.21 % after roasting. Other than blend oil, all the other edible oils restrained protein oxidation in pork patties to varying degrees (between 20.16 % and 61.26 %). In addition, camellia oil, walnut oil, and flaxseed oil increased TBARS values of pork patties by 2.2-8.6 times when compared to the CON group. After analyzing the fatty acid compositions of eleven edible oils, five main fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid) were selected to establish Myofibrillar protein-Glucose-fatty acids systems to simulate the roasting process. The results showed that palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid obviously mitigated the formation of myofibrillar protein-bound CML, exhibiting suppression rates ranging from 10.38 % to 40.32 %. In conclusion, the addition of specific edible oil may curb protein-bound CML production in roasted pork patty by restraining protein or lipid oxidation, reducing lysine loss, and suppressing glyoxal production, which may be attributed to the fatty acid compositions of edible oils. This finding provides valuable guidance for the selection of healthy roasting oils in the thermal processing of meat products.

Salmonella Typhimurium is a common foodborne pathogen in meat and meat products, causing significant harm and losses to producers and consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity and possible mechanisms of beetroot (Beta vulgaris) extract against S. Typhimurium, as well as the application potential in cooked pork. The results suggested beetroot extract could inhibit S. Typhimurium with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 20 mg/mL. After treatment with beetroot extract (1 or 2 MIC), S. Typhimurium exhibited the characteristics of apoptotic-like death (ALD), such as membrane depolarization, phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, caspase-like protein activation, and DNA fragmentation. Further research has shown that the ALD induced by beetroot extract in S. Typhimurium was caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) consumption, which was different from most natural products. The treatment of cooked pork with beetroot extract could reduce the number of S. Typhimurium, lower pH, defer lipid oxidation, and improve the colour. These results indicate that beetroot extract can inhibit S. Typhimurium through the ALD mechanism and has potential as an antibacterial agent against S. Typhimurium in ready-to-eat meat products.

One of the targets of the meat industry is to reduce production costs and to increase the sustainability of the food chain, which has driven the attention towards the use of by-products as feed ingredients. Acid oils are fat by-products coming from the chemical refining process of edible oils, with a high energy value and that are approved as feed ingredients in the European Union. However, meat producers are hesitant to utilise them due to their varying composition and the limited understanding of their impact on animal performance and meat quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of using olive pomace acid oil (OPAO) instead of its corresponding crude olive pomace oil (OPO) or crude palm oil (PO) in pig diets on lipid composition, lipid oxidation and quality of pork loin (longissimus dorsi), fresh and after commercial refrigerated storage for 8 days. The experimental design consisted of feeding pigs with four diets supplemented with a 5% of PO, OPO, OPAO or a blend (B) of PO and OPAO (50:50, w/w). Fresh and refrigerated pork loin samples were assessed for fatty acid profile; tocopherol (T) and tocotrienol (T3) composition; lipid oxidative stability with the ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange method; 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value; volatile compounds; colour; and sensory acceptance. Results showed that refrigeration reduced the total T + T3 levels and increased the TBA values and the volatile compound concentrations. The refrigerated storage also affected the instrumental colour parameters (L*, a* and b*) but not the overall acceptance of pork. Regarding the diet, pork from OPAO diet showed a higher unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio than pork from PO and B diets. The lowest T + T3 concentration was found in OPO and OPAO fresh pork and in OPAO refrigerated pork. The oxidative stability of fresh pork was lower for OPAO than for PO diet, but no significant effect of the diet was observed for this parameter in refrigerated pork. The TBA values and volatile compound concentrations of fresh pork were not affected by the diet. After refrigeration, OPAO pork had the highest TBA value and volatile compound concentrations. In any case, colour and consumer acceptance of pork were not affected by diet. In conclusion, in order to upcycle acid oils in pig diets, and considering results on the lipid oxidative stability of pork, it would be preferable to add the OPAO used in this study blended with PO.

Linseed supplementation improves the fatty acid (FA) profile of meat, primarily by increasing α-linolenic acid (ALA). Pork is one of the most consumed meats, though the high level of saturated FA, therefore, a change of the FA profile is needed to improve the health properties. The aim of this work was to study the influence of extruded linseed supplementation on the FA profile in 5 different pork cuts, increasing their nutraceutical properties. Sixty pigs were divided into two groups, which were fed two different diets: control (C) and experimental (L, 8% supplementation with extruded flaxseed). Five cuts were sampled: backfat (Bf), bacon (B), Boston shoulder (Bs), ham lean part (Hl) and ham fatty part (Hf). The L diet reduced fat content in Hf (-6%) and B (-11%), while the other cuts did not show differences. Moreover, L group showed a higher level of n-3 PUFA (approx. 9-fold), with a significant reduction in the n-6/n-3 from 20 to 2.5. In cuts rich in fat (Bf, B and Hf) of L group, the level of n-3 PUFA was higher than the thresholds set by EU to obtain the claim "Source of omega-3 fatty acids". In contrast, the lean cuts (Hl and Bs) did not exceed the threshold of n-3 PUFA required to obtain the claim, as consequence of the low level of fat. The results demonstrated that a diet with 8% extruded linseed enhanced the nutraceutical quality of pork meat.

Pork fat (PF) is a necessary ingredient in making traditional fish cakes (TFCs), which contains saturated fatty acids with potential health concerns. While linseed oil (LO) containing α-linolenic acid is a potential nutrient-enhancing fat substitute. In this study, the effect of pork fat and linseed oil level on gel quality, sensory characteristics, microstructure, and protein conformation of TFCs were characterized. Results showed that the TFCs with 30% pork fat (wt/wt) had the highest gel strength. Additionally, sensory evaluation determined that TFCs with 30% pork fat scored the best by a sensory panel with high gel strength, water-holding capacity, and fresh and sweet taste. The gel strength, chewiness, and hardness of nutrient-enriched fish cakes with 20% linseed oil replaced for pork fat were higher than that only with pork fat (wt/wt) without changing in tenderness and elasticity. Visual results showed that the network was uniform at a moderate level of linseed oil addition (20% LO/PF replacement ratio). The results of this study provided technical guidelines for standardizing the TFC manufacture processes, and useful insight for the development of fish cakes with reduced animal fat content for additional health benefits for consumers.

The influence of the incorporation of Artemisia sphaerocephala krasch gum (ASK gum; 0-0.18%) on the water holding capability (WHC), texture, color, rheological property, water distribution, protein conformation and microstructure of pork batters was investigated. The results showed that the cooking yield, WHC and L* value of pork batter gels significantly increased (p < .05) with the increasing incorporation of ASK gum, and the highest value were observed at 0.15%; the a* value decreased significantly (p < .05) and no significance was obtained in b* value (p > .05); the hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness and chewiness increased first and then decreased, and reached the highest value at 0.15%. The rheological results showed that the higher G' value was obtained in pork batters by the incorporation of ASK gum; the low field NMR analysis indicated that ASK gum significantly increased the proportion of P2b and P21 (p < .05) and decreased the proportion of P22 ; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that the ASK gum significantly reduced the α-helix content and increased the ß-sheet content (p < .05). Scanning electron microscopy results suggested that the incorporation of ASK gum could promote the formation of a more homogeneous and stable microstructure of pork batter gels. Therefore, appropriate incorporation (0.15%) of ASK gum may improve the gel properties of pork batters, and while excessive incorporation (0.18%) could weaken the gel properties.

Sodium nitrite is a multifunctional additive commonly used in the meat industry. However, this compound has carcinogenic potential, and its use should be limited. Therefore, in this study the possibility of reducing the amount of sodium(III) nitrite added to canned meat from 100 to 50 mg/kg, while enriching it with freeze-dried blackcurrant leaf extract, was analyzed. The possibility of fortification of canned meat with blackcurrant leaf extract was confirmed. It contained significant amounts of phenolic acids and flavonoid derivatives. These compounds contributed to their antioxidant activity and their ability to inhibit the growth of selected Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, it was observed that among the three different tested doses (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) of the blackcurrant leaf extract, the addition of the highest dose allowed the preservation of the antioxidant properties of canned meat during 180 days of storage (4 °C). At the end of the storage period, this variant was characterized by antiradical activity against ABTS (at the level of 4.04 mgTrolox/mL) and the highest reducing capacity. The addition of 150 mg/kg of blackcurrant leaf extract caused a reduction in oxidative transformations of fat in meat products during the entire storage period, reaching a level of TBARS almost two times less than in the control sample. In addition, these products were generally characterized by stability (or slight fluctuations) of color parameters and good microbiological quality and did not contain N-nitrosamines.

There is a dearth of experimental evidence available as to whether the consumption of fermented pork fat (FPF) food has any harmful effects on metabolism and reproduction due to its excessive calories, high fat content, and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) levels. We hypothesized that exposure to a FPF-diet with excessive calories, a high fat content, and high FAME levels alters testicular physiology and metabolism, leading to permanent damage to the testicular system and its function. Thirteen-week-old male rats (n = 20) were assigned to a high-calorie, high-fat diet (FPF-H, fat-60%, 23 kJ/g), a moderate-calorie, moderate-fat diet (FPF-M, fat-30%, 17.5 kJ/g), a low-calorie and low-fat diet (FPF-L, fat-15%, 14.21 kJ/g) compared to the standard diet (Control, fat-11%, 12.56 kJ/g) orally for 90 days. GC-MS analysis of the three FPF-diets showed high quantities of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids-ω6 (PUFA-ω6) and low levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids-ω3 (PUFA-ω3) compared to the control diet. Consequently, the levels of serum FAMEs of the FPF-diet fed rats were significantly increased. In addition, a high level of n-6:n-3 PUFA towards PUFA-ω6 was observed in the serum of FPF-diet fed rats due to the high content of linoleic, γ-linolenic, and arachidonic acid. Long-term consumption of FPF-diets disturbed the anthropometrical, nutritional, physiological, and metabolic profiles. Furthermore, administration of FPF-diets generated metabolic syndrome (dyslipidemia, leptinemia, insulin resistance, obesity, hepato-renal disorder and function), increased the cardiovascular risk factors, and triggered serum and testis inflammatory markers (interleukin-1↑, interleukin-6↑, interleukin-10↓, leukotriene B4↑, prostaglandin↑, nitric oxide↑, myeloperoxidase↑, lactate dehydrogenase↑, and tumor necrosis factor-α↑). Activated testis oxidative stress (conjugated dienes↑, lipid hydroperoxides↑, malondialdehyde↑, protein carbonyl↑, and fragmented DNA↑) and depleted antioxidant reserve (catalase↓, superoxide dismutase↓, glutathione S-transferase↓, reduced glutathione↓, glutathione disulfide↑, and GSH:GSSG ratio↓) were observed in FPF-diet fed rats. Disrupted testis histoarchitecture, progressive deterioration of spermatogenesis, poor sperm quality and functional indices, significant alterations in the reproductive hormones (serum and testis testosterone↓, serum estradiol↑, serum luteinizing hormone↓, and follicle-stimulating hormone↑), were noted in rats fed with FPF diets than in the control diet. Severe steroidogenic impairment (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, StAR↓; 3ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 3ß-HSD↓; and luteinizing hormone receptor, LHR↓), deficiency in germ cells proliferation (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA↓), and abnormally enhanced testicular germ cell apoptosis (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, TUNEL assay↑; B-cell lymphoma-2, BCL-2↓; Bcl-2-associated X protein, BAX↑; and BAX/BCL-2 ratio↑) were remarked in the FPF-diet administered rats in comparison with the control diet. In conclusion, the long-term feeding of an FPF-diet with excessive calories, a high fat content, and high FAME levels induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, resulting in metabolic syndrome and hampering male reproductive system and functions. Therefore, the adoption of FPF diets correlates with irreversible changes in testis metabolism, steroidogenesis, germ cell proliferation, and apoptosis, which are related to permanent damage to the testicular system and function later in life.

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide and identification of alternative food-based strategies are urgently warranted. In two studies, 12-week old crossbred pigs (Duroc x (Large White x Landrace)) were exposed daily to narrowband UVB radiation for â¼10 weeks or control (no UVB exposure) until slaughter. In Study 1 (n = 48), pigs were exposed to UVB for 2 min and in Study 2 (n = 20), this duration was tripled to 6 min. All pigs were fed the maximum permitted 2000 IU vitamin D3/kg feed. Loin meat was cooked prior to vitamin D LC-MS/MS analysis. In Study 1, pork loin vitamin D3 did not differ between groups. Study 2 provided longer UVB exposure time and resulted in significantly higher loin vitamin D3 (11.97 vs. 6.03 µg/kg), 25(OH)D3 (2.09 vs. 1.65 µg/kg) and total vitamin D activity (22.88 vs. 14.50 µg/kg) concentrations, compared to control (P < 0.05). Pigs remained healthy during both studies and developed no signs of erythema. Biofortification by UVB radiation provides an effective strategy to further safely increase the naturally occurring vitamin D content of pork loin, alongside feed supplementation.

Vitamin D intakes are concerningly low. Food-based strategies are urgently warranted to increase vitamin D intakes and subsequently improve 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations. This acute randomised three-way crossover study investigated the efficacy of vitamin D biofortified pork derived from pigs exposed to UVB light to increase serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations, compared to a dose-matched vitamin D3 supplement and control pork in adults (n = 14). Blood samples were obtained at baseline and then 1.5, 3, 6, 9 and 24 h postprandially. There was a significant effect of time (p < 0.01) and a significant treatment*time interaction (p < 0.05). UV pork and supplement significantly increased within-group serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations over timepoints (p < 0.05) (max. change 0.9 nmol/L (2.2%) UV pork, 1.5 nmol/L (3.5%) supplement, 0.7 nmol/L (1.9%) control). Vitamin D biofortified pork modestly increased 25(OH)D3 concentrations and produced a similar response pattern as a dose-matched vitamin D supplement, but biofortification protocols should be further optimised to ensure differentiation from standard pork.

In this work, the differences in macrostructure and microstructure, rheology, and storage stability of pre-emulsified safflower oil (PSO) prepared by natural and magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin were analysised. It was concluded that the PSO with magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin (MPSO) has better emulsifying activity and physical stability. The changes in gel quality, oxidational sensitivity, rheological, and sensory properties of pork batters with different substitute ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of pork back-fat by MPSO with magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin were studied. Compared to the sample without MPSO, pork batter with MPSO showed higher emulsion stability, apparent viscosity, Lâ value, springiness, cohesiveness, and expressible moisture, while lower aâ value and cooking loss. Moreover, added MPSO could be more uniformly distributed into the meat matrix with smaller holes. With the increase in the replacement proportion of pork back-fat, the hardness, water- and fat-holding capacity, and P21 of pork batter significantly decreased (P < 0.05). As revealed by sensory evaluation and TBARS, using MPSO to substitute for pork back-fat decreased the lipid oxidational sensitivity of pork batter, and without negative effects on the appearance, juiciness and overall acceptability. Overall, it is feasible to apply MPSO as a pork-fat replacer to produce reduced-animal fat pork batter with excellent gel and sensory properties.

BACKGROUND: Ginger and its extracts have been frequently used in food processing and pharmaceuticals. However, the influence of ginger and its key compounds on benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) production in meat processing has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of application of ginger and its important active ingredients on BaP formation and the mechanism of inhibiting BaP formation in charcoal-grilled pork sausages. RESULTS: The DPPH scavenging (23.59-59.67%) activity and the inhibition rate of BaP (42.1-68.9%) were significantly increased (P < 0.05) with increasing ginger addition. The active components extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide from ginger were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 14 representative compounds (four terpenes, two alcohols, two aldehydes, four phenols and two other compounds, totaling 77.57% of the detected compounds) were selected. The phenolic compounds (eugenol, 6-gingerol, 6-paradol and 6-shogaol, accounting for 29.73% of the total composition) in ginger played a key role and had the strongest inhibitory effect on BaP (61.2-68.2%), whereas four other kinds of compound showed obviously feeble inhibitory activity (6.47-17.9%). Charcoal-grilled sausages with phenolic substances had lower values of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, carbonyl and diene (three classic indicators of lipid oxidation) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Ginger and its key compounds could effectively inhibit the formation of BaP in charcoal-grilled pork sausages. Phenolic compounds make the strongest contribution to the inhibition of Bap formation, and the inhibitory mechanism was related to the inhibition of lipid oxidation. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

In the present study, wine-based marinades containing ethanolic extract from pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), alone or in combination with two Essential Oils (Thyme & Oregano), were used for pork fillets marination and their antimicrobial activity, as well as their sensorial impact were evaluated. Likewise, the marinades exhibited promising results concerning their recorded antimicrobial activity versus Enterobacteriaceae, Total Mesophilic Bacteria, Yeasts/molds, Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. & Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The outcome demonstrated that pork fillets marinated with wine containing ethanolic extract of pomegranate and Oregano Essential Oil were more resistant to spoilage compared to all other samples; thus, their shelf-life was significantly extended (4 days in some cases). Triterpenes (maslinic, oleanolic and betulinic acid), monoterpenes (p-cymene, carvacrol, thymol, limonene), organic acids (citric & malic acid) and phenols, were the main constituents found in the plant extract, the wine and Essential Oils applied, as determined through LC-QTOF/MS and HPLC analysis. Additionally, the sensorial properties (color, tenderness, flavor and juiciness) of the marinated meat samples were not negatively influenced. Consequently, marinades of this type could be used as natural preservatives in meat products, with satisfying antimicrobial and organoleptic results.

The effects of chickpea protein isolate (CPI, 0.5-2 %, w/w) on the techno-functional properties of 50 % reduced-phosphate pork meat batters (RPMBs) were explored. The results showed that 1.5-2 % CPI significantly decreased the cooking loss but significantly increased the emulsion stability, hardness, gumminess, chewiness and yellowness (b*) of RPMBs (P < 0.05). CPI altered molecular characteristics of RPMBs, as demonstrated by the increased storage modulus (G'), the conversion of free water into immobilized water, the reduced intensities of the aliphatic residue Raman bands, the decreased α-helical structure and the formation of well-organized gel networks with evenly distributed small fat globules. Principal component analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis indicated that CPI-induced changes in RPMB techno-functional properties were closely related to molecular characteristics. Hierarchical cluster analysis suggested that RPMBs supplemented with 1.5-2 % CPI were highly similar in techno-functional properties to the high-phosphate group. Therefore, CPI may potentially be used to develop reduced-phosphate meat products.

Garlic diallyl disulfide (DAD) nano-emulsions consisting of soy proteins were constructed, and their effects on physicochemical properties and heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) formation in roasted pork were investigated. DAD was well encapsulated by soy proteins with a mean particle of 400-700 nm. Applying DAD nano-emulsions to pork patties significantly altered the color and texture of roasted pork, with a slight increase in brightness and decreases in redness and yellowness. The flavor determination demonstrated that sulfur-containing compound levels in encapsulated DAD were significantly reduced, particularly 7S group compounds, indicating an effective shielding effect on the irritating odor of garlic oil by protein. The levels of three HAAs (MeIQx, PhIP, and Harman) were significantly reduced by DAD nano-emulsion exposure (51.84 %, 76.80 %, and 48.70 %, respectively). This study provides a new method for inhibiting HAA formation and improving the sensory qualities of meat products.

Multiple emulsions have drawn great attentions from researchers in the production of low-fat foods. The Monascus pigment W/O/W multiple emulsions were prepared by a two-step emulsification procedure with Monascus pigment as inner water phase, flaxseed gum (FG) as internal water phase gel, soybean oil as oil phase, and pea protein isolate (PPI) as outer water phase. We aimed to investigate the quality of pork emulsion systems in which pork fat was replaced by W/O/W emulsions. The results revealed that addition of W/O/W emulsions reduced lipid contents from 11.22% to 5.09%, enhanced protein level from 15.77% to 17.02%, increased polyunsaturated fatty acid composition from 23.36% to 59.63%, improved water-holding capacity and oxidative stability compared to the control samples with pork fat. It was demonstrated that meat systems could achieve dual functions including decreasing the total fat content without affecting the hardness of the meat systems and color retention.
